Spanish tortillas: great onion debate

www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/14/pro-onion-faction-triumphs-in-spains-great-omelette-debate The concebollistas won, over the sincebollistas, but that doesn't mean people in the Spanish State like their potato omelettes reeking of onion.

I'm moderately concebollista myself. Can you get a good tortilla (omelette, not maize flatbread) where you live? My favourite place closed down some years back; must seek another.

I like everything reeking of onion and/or garlic. I often add either to recipes that don't call for them.

[lagatta]

I do too, but I knew that wasn't the prevailing Spanish taste.

It's like the question of onion on pizza in Italy; most will say it doesn't belong, many pizzerias won't offer it, but other pizzerias offer it on one or two of their featured pizze.

Reasonable people. Just so long as they shoot anybody who requests pineapple!

Onions, besides being a delicious addition, make tortillas less dense.

Always make mine with onion, and garlic.
Not necessarily traditionally cooked but I slice and boil some potatoes, fry onion and garlic, take that out of the frying pan, fry the potatoes a little in the same pan, add back the onion/garlic, add the egg mix, fry gently until the bottom is done then finish the top off under the grill. It's just the way we as a family like it.
